Is this after it's fully warmed up? My first thought is a failing injector o-ring.

Also, I'd be careful running your engine up to 3500 rpms with no load. Very hard on things. It ain't no gasser.

Like kwik said.. if its doing this warm it could be o-rings.

O-rings. Getting worse. Ask Quadzilla, he had the same experience.

my truck smoke pretty heavily after sitting for more than 3 hours or so. i'm guessin O-rings, just gotta suck it up and swap them out. i know my EBPV isn't closed cause its on a switch (need to re-wire it). next couple weeks will bring new o-rings most likely...
